How To Freeze Fudge

This guide will walk you through how to freeze fudge in a container OR a freezer bag. The key to successfully freezing fudge is in wrapping it neatly and tightly.
You can wrap fudge in pieces or as a whole batch— think about how much you'll want to defrost later before you begin wrapping.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Equipment

  • Freezer-safe plastic wrap
  • A resealable, plastic freezer bag OR an airtight, freezer-safe container
  • Parchment paper OR waxed paper
  • Alumnium foil
  • Freezer labels
  • A permanent marker
  • A straw (optional)
  • Space at the back of your freezer

Instructions
 

  • Wait until the fudge has cooled to room temperature. If you iced the fudge, wait until the icing has dried or hardened. Do not wrap hot or warm fudge.
  • Unroll the plastic wrap onto a flat surface, but don't cut it.
  • Place a single layer of fudge on the wrap. Leave space in between each piece of fudge if you're wrapping pre-cut pieces. Layer with waxed paper or a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Stack another layer of fudge on top of the first, and layer with waxed paper or parchment paper. Repeat this step as required.
  • Tightly double-wrap the fudge in plastic wrap. Then, wrap the fudge in aluminium foil.
  • Place the wrapped fudge in an airtight, sealable container or a freezer bag. If you're using a bag, press all the air out of the bag and seal it shut.
  • Straw "vacuum seal" trick (optional): Slide a straw into the bag and suck out the air so the bag "shrinks" around the wrapped fudge. Slide the bag down the straw as you inhale, and quickly seal the bag while you remove the straw.
  • Write today's date on a freezer label, stick it to the bag or container, and place it in the back of your freezer.
